We're just 4 months away from season 8 of "Game of Thrones". While the cast members have been declining to give big spoilers of the upcoming final season of the hit HBO series, some of the actors have been teasing what emotions the fans would feel after the ending. The latest actor to give the tease is Gwendoline Christie.

E! News caught up with the Brienne of Tarth depicter at the premiere of her new movie "Welcome to Marwen" on Monday night, December 10 in Los Angeles. Erin Lim asked the actress which co-stars who tried to get "Game of Thrones" spoilers out of her the most, Christie said, "Jenelle [Monae]. I think it was Janelle actually.."

"But people have always incredibly respectful. You know that it's your job to protect the secrets of the series, so nobody ever tries to really catch you out," she further explains of her "Welcome to Marwen" co-stars including Janelle Monae, Steve Carell and Leslie Mann.

When asked to give something about the final season, the actress only said, "You're going to need therapy." Did she hint at someone's dying? Without confirming whether the show will end with a major death or not, Christie went on saying, "I think just the show ending is going to send all of the world into professional help."

"I think it's going to make me incredibly emotional," she added. "We're all emotional about the fact that this is the end, and this is the end of something incredibly significant for all of us, and it's been a truly incredible thing to be a part of."

Christie's character Brienne was last seen on the side of the North. She was in dillema about what to do about the war against the white walkers when she reunited with Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). She then tried to convince him to get his sister Cersei to agree to the plan.

In related news, author George R.R. Martin has vowed to finish "The Winds of Winter", the next novel of "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series on which "Game of Thrones" is based. "I know you want 'Winds', and I am going to give it to you," Martin wrote on his blog. "But I am delighted that you stayed with me for this one as well. Your patience and unflagging support means the world to me. Enjoy the read."

While it's unknown when "The Winds of Winter" will hit the shelves, season 8 of "Game of Thrones" will arrive in April 2019 on HBO.
